Terrain Flight Manouvering

Question 1

Explain the sequence for a high speed CRS reversal:

Answer 1

Pitch (NU as req) —> Roll (AoB indicator) —> Squeeze (positive G’s) —> IAS (NB 50) —> Nose through the horizon —> Look for rollout feature —> 10ºND —> Recovery

Question 2

What is the difference between 80, 100 and 120KIAS CRS reversals?

Answer 2

80KIAS: 10-15ºNU
100KIAS: 20-25ºNU
120KIAS: 30ºNU

Question 3

What AoB is the steep turn flown by day and night?

Answer 3

60º by day
45º by night

Question 4

What is the scan for a steep turn?

Answer 4

AoB indicator —> PWR top up —> IVSI/VV on Hz —> Look into turn —> IVSI/VV —> Lookout —> Rollout/reduce PWR

Question 5

Explain the sequence for a low speed CRS reversal:

Answer 5

PWR to MCP when below 80KTS

Question 6

What restrictions are associated with high speed CRS reversals?

Answer 6

• 50kts min speed
• Not below 30ºND

Question 7

What are the standard numbers associated with flare and turn/turn and flare quick stops?

Answer 7

10ºNU
30ºAoB

Question 8

When planning and approach into a pad from a flare and turn/turn and flare, when should the manoeuvre be initiated?

Answer 8

Flare + turn: Once just slightly past abeam start the flare, turn later than you think
Turn + flare: Turn once the pad is at the 4:30/7:30 point

Question 9

You are uncomfortable with the aircrafts flight path, what should you say to correct the flying pilot?

Answer 9

“Attitude”
“Flight Path”
“Heading”

Whatever gets their attention and an appropriate reaction

Question 10

You are flying a quick stop to an OGE hover, what additional considerations are there when terminating?

Answer 10

• Through F speed, committed or flyaway?
• If committed, where to? (Spot a clear path and select that as termination area)

Question 11

You are in the OGE hover, what is your W/C?

Answer 11

Donut —> RadALT —> Ground feature (then repeat)
